Task Force Members

This document was developed through the National Cooperative Education Statistics System and funded by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. A task force of the National Forum on Education Statistics (an entity of the National Cooperative Education Statistics System) produced this document. The task force acknowledges the efforts of many people who contributed to this document.

After task force members contributed draft chapters, the separate files were edited into a single guidebook. This draft was distributed to reviewers in California, Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Members of the task force met with individuals in Missouri and New Hampshire, while others returned written responses to specific questions.

The interviews during site visits and the written responses provided the task force with a "reality check" in an attempt to ensure that the guidebook meets the needs of the intended audiences.
